Well a quick test on my laptop with: openssl speed rsa4096 Gives 6.7 signs/s which isn't that far from what you are seeing. Try a smaller key size. 2048 bits is fine and gives 44.2 sign/s on my setup. A 1024 bit key would be faster still but their use is now being discouraged. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
